#Panthers RB Rico Dowdle said he posted the 😵‍💫 out of frustration. He felt like they could have had run success against the 49ers because they weren’t stacking the box. He said Dave Canales addressed the play calling with the team, he said they needed to run more and Dowdle was

Should we have seen this coming? And can the Panthers fare any better against the *gulp* Los Angeles Rams?

“Every game I say a prayer for him, and I make sure that he’s doing good in heaven. I’m always thinking about him.” @jalencoker plays every #Panthers game for a friend he lost — and a village of people who remind him to “love like Adam.” In @theobserver:

#Panthers star safety Tre'Von Moehrig has been suspended one game without pay for his "act of unsportsmanlike conduct" on Monday Night Football. Everything in the story, via @theobserver:

The news is costly for an already atrophied Panthers defense.

On low blows, bad football and where the Panthers find themselves today (hint: it's not quite as bad as you'd think), in the wake of their not ready for prime time, 20-9 loss to San Francisco on Monday night. For @theobserver:

Takeaways from the #Panthers' loss to the #49ers in prime time that comes replete with missed opportunities, injuries and a reminder of jus how good Christian McCaffrey is. Story in @theobserver: https://t.co/GDVkmPfG3J

Well, Young defied expectations here, as he's up to 104 yards as the fourth quarter begins.

Will Bryce Young (40 yards, early in third quarter) surpass 100 yards passing in this game?

Panthers have a great TD drive, ending on 29-yard pass from Young to McMillan, but then go for 2 after a penalty on 49ers on a successful extra point try. As iffy as passing game has been, that's an iffy idea by Canales. It doesn't work. 49ers up 17-9 at end of third quarter.

No Jaycee Horn so far in the 2nd half. Per MNF broadcast, he was throwing up on the sideline after his 2nd pick and is being evaluated for a concussion.

Regarding Bryce Young's 28 yards passing at halftime -- the outlier was last week (448), not so much this. Bryce game by game this year in passing yards (in the games he's played): 154 328 121 150 198 199 138 102 124 448 28 (halftime)

After that 448-yard masterpiece last week, Bryce Young is 5-for-7 for 22 yards, no TDs and one killer INT so far as this MNF game nears halftime. Because of Panthers D, though, Carolina is still only behind 7-3. Also.. no Legette targets, T-Mac a bad drop, no TE catches.. ugly.

Purdy has now thrown THREE interceptions in the game's first 21 minutes. Unreal. All 3 of his passes that have been more than 15 yards have been picked off. Jaycee Horn with 2 of them; defense keeping Carolina in the game.
